Asphodels [LP], Veils, Vinyl

Asphodels, the seventh studio album from The Veils, was recorded live to tape over five days at Roundhead Studios in Aotearoa New Zealand.The album takes it's name from the Ancient Greek flower of the Underworld, and lyrically, Andrews draws more from the great poets than he does from the well of more traditional rock and roll songwriters.The collaboration between Andrews and string arranger Victoria Kelly is a central aspect of the record, and as with the band's previous album... And Out Of The Void Came Love, Kelly plays an integral role in bringing the songs to life.The result is a record that possesses the quiet, hard-earned confidence of restraint and that carefully chooses it's moments to lift the roof and howl up to the heavens
